We're building a medical application that needs to print reports based on  
data in Sybase formatted with horizontal and vertical lines and with  
different fonts.  We looked at improv and dataphile and are going to look  
at framemaker as commercial stuff we could send our data to, but none of  
those things look sufficient at this point.  We're also looking around at  
sybase report generating tools, SQR being a likely candidate. Again, so  
far these seem limited.  How do other folks handle this kind of thing?   
The reports are the main thing this app provides the users, so they need  
to look snazzy.  Also, the user's are probably going to keep changing the  
requirements about how the data should be laid out, so we'd like to have a  
method that makes changes easy.  

thanks
